EBSCO Announces New Databases, Linking Agreement for EBSCOhost
EBSCO Publishing (http://www.ebsco.com) has announced that the Hispanic American Periodicals Index (HAPI) is now available through EBSCOhost. HAPI, which is produced by the Latin American Center at UCLA, is a source of authoritative, global information about Central and South America, Mexico, the Caribbean basin, the U.S./Mexican border region, and Hispanic Americans. HAPI contains complete bibliographic citations to articles, book reviews, documents, original literary works, and other materials that appear in more than 400 social science and humanities journals published throughout the world. Libraries that subscribe to both HAPI and an EBSCOhost full-text database, such as Academic Search Premier, will be able to link from citations within HAPI to the corresponding full-text articles in these databases.EBSCO Publishing has also released Información de Salud para los Consumidores, a new Spanish-language consumer health database. It is offered via EBSCOhost Español, EBSCO's Spanish-language search interface. The company also announced that it has enabled article-level linking from EBSCOhost to the full-text articles available in the JSTOR archive. The initial implementation of this agreement will facilitate full-text links from all EBSCOhost proprietary databases as well as the MEDLINE database. These databases will link to many of the 218 titles that are currently available in JSTOR's five archival collections (Arts & Sciences I, Arts & Sciences II, General Science, Ecology & Botany, and Business). JSTOR is an independent, not-for-profit organization. Source: EBSCO Publishing
